The cast of VH1's "Mob Wives" is angered over what they saw as racism and discrimination relayed to them from the management of a event. The reality stars received an email from marketing manager Frayda Resnick at Frames Bowling Lounge in NYC, specifically banning any hip hop related people or culture.

"Please make sure there is no press leaked to any website or outlets that covers urban or hip hop events," Frayda wrote in her email. "That is not our target demographic and feel it would send the wrong message about our low-key venue... We do no want any rappers or Love and Hip Hop artists."

Karen Gravano, a reality star on Mob Wives, said she "can't believe that in 2013 the ignorance of racism still exists."

Karen says she would have canceled her contract to appear at the event if she had known that information prior.
